Abstract
BACKGROUND:
Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disorders have been the most prevalent cause of death and morbidity in the world over the last decades. Seasonal differences in blood lipids have recently raised interest in this area of lipid metabolism. In the current study
OBJECTIVE:
To determined if changes in weather having effect on lipid profile readings
METHODS:
Eighty five subjects, forty males and fort five females were included with age range of (22-85) years. Two serum samples were investigated in hospital lab for lipid profile for every participant from outpatient clinic/Baghdad teaching hospital, in 12 months’ period. Other clinical data and some modifiable risk factors were also obtained.
RESULT:
The results showed that a significant increase in winter was shown in LDL and total cholesterol among males only (P value 0.011, and 0.012), respectively, but no changes in HDL, triglyceride and LDL/HDL were found. Systolic blood pressure was also found increased in winter significantly (P=0.008), while diastolic pressure, FBS and BMI did not change significantly.
CONCLUSION:
The present study concludes that there are significant changes of lipid parameter in male sex may affect assessment of risk of cardiovascular disease.
